Nick Diaz has not competed inside of the octagon since his unanimous decision loss to Anderson Silva at 183 which occurred in January of 2015.<\/p>\n

That loss was eventually turned in to a no-contest, this after “The Spider” tested positive for steroids in his post-fight drug test. In addition to Silva’s failure, Nick Diaz tested positive for marijuana metabolites and was served an 18-month suspension from the NSAC.<\/p>\n

The former Strikeforce welterweight champion’s last victory came way back at UFC 137 in October of 2011 when he scored a decision victory over our namesake BJ Penn.<\/p>\n

According to UFC President Dana White, Nick wants to fight and is ready to go. His words:<\/p>\n

\u201cNick wants to fight,\u201d <\/em>White told \u201cThe Buzzer\u201d on FOX Sports. \u201cNick\u2019s ready to go again. I\u2019ve got to figure that out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Who would you like to see Nick Diaz square off with in his return to the octagon?<\/p>\n
